Happy Halloween! I wanted to put a lot more of these up, but I wound up pressed for time. There’s always next year, I suppose. Anyhow, here you are, my favorite slashers, I hope some of you watch one or two of these tonight.
(I’d like to note that I do not consider Nightmare on Elm Street or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to be slashers, therefore, they ain’t on this list.)
